This family has been going through a lot. Please consider supporting them.
My back is broken.
My kid is on day 12 of inpatient adolescent psych treatment.
Our rental wheelchair van is costing an exorbitant amount with @USAA only covering a fraction of the cost.
I hate asking for help. Hate. It. But also, we need it.

“We are bound personally to unjust social structures regardless of our social positions and whether we like it or not or chose to be or not.” We need moral imagination, moral courage, and bold maneuvers to address structural injustices - Gayle Restall #MurielDriver at #CAOT2024
I have had the pleasure of having Dr. Gayle Restall, #MurielDriver presenter at #CAOT2024, as one of my earliest mentors in my #OccupationalTherapy and research journey. #SocialJustice resonated with me from the beginning. This award is so well deserved!
So much #FoodForThought in the Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Canadians session at #CAOT2024! Thanks to all the presenters and the small group discussion groups! @cannemarshall @skye_barbic @MichelleFergy @msbizzeth Kim Hewitt-McVicker, Fizza Jafry, and Debra Beach Ducharme

Forced addictions treatment is a poor practice that unfortunately comes around again and again. People use small sample anecdotes to justify policy. Evidence-based practice on the other hand notes that treatment needs to be available but also needs to be a choice.
Enforcement does not work! What is also concerning is the lack of compassion in many of the comments following the original post. What has society come to? #homelessness #encampments #EnforcementWillNotWork

"...housing stability creates opportunities to belong but developing a sense of belonging is a difficult process involving changes in social networks facilitated by engaging with others in meaningful activities."

What happens when you give 50 homeless people $7,500 each? They spend it on rent, clothing and food (not alcohol, drugs and smokes), a stereotype-shattering B.C. study shows, by @Brie_Charlebois theglobeandmail.com/canada/b… via @globeandmail @jiayingzhao

If in Lacombe-Ponoka you can compare a gay child to human feces and still win 72% of the vote, this is not a report card on the disposable politician, but rather on our society.
Alberta, we have some reflecting to do.

What a great presentation and reminder of #DoLiveWell. I use it in my practice and value the easy-access approach for anyone that this model offers clients.
What we do every day matters! Delighted to co-present with my colleague Nadine Larivière @COTFFCE lunch with a scholar #CAOT2023 @SRSMcMasterU
